Planning analysis

Refusal reasons

Premature Services

Development deemed premature pending determination by the Roads Authority of a road layout for the N11 upgrade, as insufficient information shows the development would not interfere with the upgrade.

CDP Objectives TR18, TR19; M11/N11 Corridor Study (J4 M50 - J14 Coyne's Cross) Needs Assessment Report April 2017
insufficient information has been submitted to show that the proposed development would not impact on the ability to upgrade the N11 in the vicinity of the site and therefore the proposed development would be premature pending the determination by the Roads authority
Residential Amenity

Proposal results in sub-division of the original plot, is out of character with the existing pattern of development, and sets an undesirable precedent contrary to proper planning and sustainable development.

Bray Municipal District LAP 2018 RE Zoning Objective (infill residential development in accordance with principles of good design and protection of existing residential amenity)
proposal would result in the sub-division of the original plot, would be out of character with the existing pattern of development in the area... would set an undesirable precedent for similar subdivision of plots within the area
Wastewater Percolation

Inadequate evidence that proposed wastewater treatment accords with EPA Code of Practice given high water table noted in trial holes, and insufficient evidence of right to connect to privately owned water main.

Wastewater Treatment and Disposal systems Serving Single Houses (p.e. < 10), Code of Practice, published by E.P.A 2009
Inadequate evidence is available to show that the Proposed wastewater treatment for house no. 1 accords with the requirements of the WastewaterTreatment and Disposalsystems Serving Single Houses... given the high water table noted in the trial holes on site inspection
Traffic Sightlines

Development would endanger public safety due to a serious traffic hazard caused by insufficient sightlines at the proposed entrance.

General planning principles regarding public safety and road access
The proposed development would endanger public safety by reason of serious traffic hazard because insufficient sightlines are available at the entrances.
